YHA in Grasmere from AU$60

"This is the third time we have stayed at the Lakes Hotel and Spa, on this occasion it was our first year anniversary and they really made a big deal of it. We went to the cocktail terrace, which had some really delicious cocktails (personally would recommend the lake’s tiramisu), and then we had a relaxing couple of hours in the stunning spa, which has great facilities. Finally, the private hot tub on the balcony makes the trip special, and is one of the main reasons we have gone back."

"Fantastic location and brilliant hotel for couples. Throughly enjoyed ourselves and wil definitely be back."

"We love this hotel, the decor is brilliant and very fitting for the Lake District. Pool and gym are great. But you have to pay £15 if you don’t book direct. EV charging. Lovely bar and restaurant "

"Fabulous hotel, great staff and supper restaurants."

"The location and staff were amazing as was the unlimited breakfast!!! Dinner options were a tad pricey and limited choices with no bar snacks etc. The room was very clean but the mattress was showing its age with springs being felt coming through. The Spa is nice but again showing its age with tiles missing in the pool and obvious repairs here and there. The jets also were on a timer which needed constant restarting. We did notice a medical plaster left on the side of the pool for over 36 hours so not sure on the cleanliness of this area. The cushions of the loungers were also very soft/dated and needed replacing really. Overall very nice but search various sites for prices as we found varying levels with some over £100 more per night. "

"Very nice stay but don't think they should charge £15 for parking per day"

"The hotel is located on the main road into Windermere and has its own parking. Check in was fast and the receptionist was very helpful. I was a little disappointed as I didn’t realise that access to the pool with kids is only between 9am - 1pm so we had to move our plans around and take the kids the following morning. The room was fantastic, it was spotless and very spacious. It was nice and warm and included all the necessary essentials to make it a comfortable stay. The leisure centre is impeccably maintained and the kids really enjoyed themselves. Would highly recommend this hotel and would be happy to use again in the future. "

"During our short stay we found the staff to be very helpful and courteous "

"Friendly, attentive staff. Tasty breakfast. Comfortable room, with complementary gin. Enjoyed spending time in the spa. Used our Expedia reward in the bar, relaxing in front of the fire. A great birthday getaway. Just a shame that they feel the need to charge for parking. Would certainly recommend Rothay Garden and hope to return in the future."
